SOS brisket cook not going well.

[chopsaw]

So frustrating brisket to stressful.

I do all my briskets on a Weber kettle . Right before I put the lid on , I flip it off and say " I don't care if you come out good or not "
Seems to work . That and a bamboo skewer .

+1000 THIS. If you have not perfected your pulled pork I would do that. RESIST RUSHING!!! As @gmc2003 Chris says over is better than under for smoked stuff. Brisket is NOT steak!

Exactly!

Doing 10 pound+ pork butts is the best practice for a whole packer brisket. I wouldn't even full with a brisket Flat only if I could avoid it.

I did a ton of pork butts before I jumped to tackle a brisket. That got my timing and long smoke practices down. The next to come was simply the quirks specific to a brisket. Like triming the flat properly, probe placement, figuring out the bigger the brisket the better to trim down to uniform size and repurpose the meat, etc.

There is a lot to learn on a brisket alone so using pork butts to figure out the time and smoking process is a major help to reduce the amount of things to figure out all at once :)

So frustrating brisket to stressful. May just stick to ribs and chicken or just do a prime flat next time. Ohhh well if it did not turn out I can always make a nice gravy, smother it and call it a day. For better or worse I will let you all know. Will be awhile going to let it sit for 7hrs

I've done a grand total of two whole packer briskets. Both were successful only because of the research I did here on the site. As the philosopher Marcus Lemonis said, "trust the process."
